ABC News: Did HIV-Positive Mom's Beliefs Put Her Children at Risk?
ABC News: Did HIV-Positive Mom's Beliefs Put Her Children at Risk?
You know....people are just absolute fucking idiots....
It reminds me of the scene in House where Hugh Laurie's character Greg House asks a mom about her daughter being up-to-date on inoculations - the mother spouts off something about it all being a 'government plot' and how she did not 'believe in' inoculations- Dr. House is playing with her 2-yr old with a stuffed-animal frog - he mentions that the frog comes in nice colours - he then says 'Do you know what else comes in cool colours for kids?' (something to this effect) 'Coffins!' he says...
I mean look, I am not always gung ho on 'towing the line' for modern medicine (actually I don't consider what we PRACTICE (and yes folks there's a reason why it's called practice) in this country to be very modern/good (EDIT: in the sense that it does not view us a 'whole humans' but rather as pieces/parts) compared to ancient Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine....but I do feel that you need to keep your kids inoculated that you need to work with your pediatrician (not against them and find one that works well with you too!) - but you seriously do need to keep in mind that most doctors DO want to help you as a patient and they don't want to harm you...
In the meantime I am wondering just how this mom looks at herself in the mirror or sleeps at night...
